Would this wheel work better with a 43 offset or a 48 offset. (ADR m-sport 18x7.5) And secondly what does everyone think about this wheel?????

 

[HouRman]

Compared to stock,

43mm offset = 4mm less inner clearance, and will extend 22mm outside.
48mm offset = 9mm less inner clearance, and will extend 17mm outside.

The question is will the 48mm offset rub on the inside with 9mm less clearance...

Maybe it depends on the tire size too, and whether or not you are lowered.

id go with the 43 b/c if you do rub just a bit, you can fix it a lot easier since it would rube the fender rather than the 48 that would rub somewhere on the inside.

What is the standard wheel size/offset (17" wheels on an '07)?

 

[the415]

17X6.5 52MM

 

[dread]

go with the 48, you will not rub with that If people can run stock rx-8 wheels without rubbing.

 

[the415]

the rx8 wheel is 18x7

 

[Depou]

and has an offset of +50

get the +43, you'll have more of a lip also, but that is relavant to some peoples tastes.

my thinking precisely! i cant believe it! the 415 was wrong for once. sshhhh, i wont tell anyone. im just messin with ya man, but ya, they are 18x8

 

[mike10]

yea i am lowered 2'' on eibach springs, so i dont really know which way to go with this. Will the wheel fit in the wheel well if it sticks out an extra 22mm?? And there are mixed opinions from everyone, so does anyone have a definet answer.???

Go with the 48 offset.

 

[JDR]

48 offset with 7.5 width is almost ideal for our car.
